S288

The S288 is an active device designed to give an alarm signal if liquid falls below, or rises above, a preset level. It can be specified with a delay to eliminate false alarms due to turbulence. A flying lead enables customers to specify a suitable connector of their choice.

Containing a factory programmable microprocessor, the switch offers sink to ground and / or source voltage output. Its small footprint with limited intrusion into the tank means a reduced risk of damage and a wide range of customer specifiable options make it suitable for most applications.

For optimum accuracy, the S288 should be mounted horizontally at the point where an alarm or control signal is required. However, the switch can be mounted vertically – contact Fozmula with your application requirements.
